Green Meadows has always prided itself on having strong ties with the local area. Whether it is through raising funds for Teenage Cancer Trust’s Addenbrookes ward or offering support to local artists and performers.

This year organisers have gone even further by teaming up with BBC Introducing Cambridgeshire for a stage takeover set to feature the best up and coming acts our region has to offer including The Rose Affair, The Candle Thieves, Melody Causton and more. BBC Radio Cambs will also be broadcasting live from site.

Alongside the musical entertainment there will plenty to keep children happy with a full itinerary of free children’s activities in the “Kid’s Corner’, including circus workshops, mini music makers, arts and crafts, inflatables and more.

Saturday will be the Fancy Dress Day (for adults too) and this years theme is ‘Enchanted Woods and Magical Creatures’.

“Moving to a beautiful new site at Elton Hall and extending to three full days (and nights) we have the opportunity to bring more music and culture to the area, not only with big name acts but also continuing to supporting local artists. It’s going to be our best year yet.

“We have so many exciting things planned for the new site,” said Ollie Sharp, the festival founder

There will also be handpicked food vendors, crafts stalls and more.

Limited full weekend adult tickets at £55 (inc camping) are available now. Kids weekend tickets: 4-13 years - £10, 13-17 years - £25 and children under 4 go free.
